Friday T&A on S&A: Alphonso Rawls and Janet Jackson
Ben Cannard sent in some pics of his old Alphonso Rawls model on Evol, that features Janet Jackson. There is some confusion about this on the Interwebs™. Some people remember it alternately as a Droors ad or a Fuct advertisement. I don’t remember it at all, which would place it in the early 90’s. I find it hard to believe that it’s not photoshopped. I guess Janet Jackson was slumming it trying to get some street cred out of skateboarding. If I’ve got the story wrong, by all means fill me in. I plead ignorance.
Click to enlarge.
It’s a photoshop of a Rolling Stone magazine cover.

I don’t remember anybody putting it on a deck though. That’s the first time I’ve seen that.
Maybe a one off D.I.Y. A company would have been sued for sure.
I remember that Rolling Stone issue. We can all learn from JJ, Implied boobs” are o.k. in the Super Market line but not ok at the Super Bowl!
not a one off, I remember that model, a lot of Evol’s graphics were blatant rip-offs and usually changed frequently..
it was evol, i had the t-shirt circa 95′. h street fell into evol ifim not mistaken, then evol started making snowboards, tony magnusson is cool, the end.
…and that’s not Janet, it’s Michael.
There was a similar Droors ad but it was Danny Way and it ripped off a Calvin Klien ad (I think). The only reason I remember is my friend hung it on the back of his door so parents wouldn’t see it.
yup,droors did different ad same idea, kate moss/danny way ck ripoff
Anyone remember the the Droors “got milk?” ad, where Alfonso(?) was sucking on a tittie? It was 95ish.
I remember it as a droors ad and not evol. Maybe they used the picture for both? I also remember the Danny Way one as well.
